MIXER.

Application filed February 12, 1927. Seria'l No. 167,795.

This invention relates to a combined food chopper, pie crust mixer and flaker, and aims to improve generally the construction as shown and described in my Patent Number 1,486,255.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of this character embodying a handle portion and a plurality of sen lcircular cutters or mixers secured thereto in such a way that movement of the cutters or mixers with respect to a handle, will be prevented.

Another object of the invention is to provide a body portion constructed of a length of sheet metal, the ends thereof being formed with cut out portions to receive the ends of the wire cutters or mixers, means being provided to hold the ends of the wire cutters or mixers against movement with respect to the body portion.

lVit-h the foregoing and other objects in view which will ap ear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of What is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevational View of a device constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view through the device.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view through one end portion.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the device includes a body portion formed of a length of sheet metal, the ends thereof being bent at right angles to provide end portions 5 and a hand piece 6, the hand piece having its side edges curved downwardly as at 7 for the comfort of the user.

The reference character 8 indicates a bar formed of a length of sheet metal, the same being curved as at 9 and formed with right angled end portions 10 which fit against the inner surfaces of the end portions 5 and extend upwardly where they are secured to the handle as by means of the rivets 11, the member 8 being supported in such spaced relation with the hand piece 6, that the same may be gripped by the fingers of the person using the device.

Thus it will be seen that due to this construction, the handle will be securely braced. Adjacent to the free ends of the end portions 5 are a plurality of spaced cut out portions extending from the ends of the end portions to points in spaced relation with the ends of the portions 5 providing pockets to accommodate the ends 12 of the semi-circular wire cutters or mixers 13, which are arranged in spaced relation with each other, so that the material with which the device is being used and which is cut by the device, may pass between the members 13 while the device is being used as a cutter or a mixer.

Secured to the inner surface of each end portion 5, and overlapping the cut out portions thereof, is a strip of sheet metal 14, the strip being secured by means of the rivets 15.

These strips provide stops for the ends of the members 13 and hold the members 13 against movement, while they are being soldered, attention being directed to Figure 3 of the drawing.

Thus it will be obvious that the members 13 are securely fastened to the end portions 5 of the body and movement of the end portions within the cut out portions of the members 5 will be prevented.

I claim:

1. In a device of the character described, a body portion including a length of sheet metal having right angled end portions, said end portions having a plurality of openings formed therein, cutting members embodying lengths of wire material curved, the ends thereof being positioned within the openings, and a bar curved transversely and fitted between the end portions of the body 95 portion providing a hand grip.

2. In a device of the character described, a body portion having right angled end portions, a bar having right angled end portions secured to the right angled end portions of the body portion to hold the first mentioned right angled end portions ,in spaced relation with each other, and curved wires having their ends secured to the right angled ends of the body portion.

3. In a device of the character described,

a body portion having right angled end portions, a plurality of cutting members semicircular in formation, means for securing the end portions to the right angled end portions 110 and a bar connecting of the body portion,

portions of the body the right angled end 7 portion. Y f

'4. In a device of the character described, 5 a body portion having right angled end portions,

said end portions having cut out po'rtions extending from the extremities thereof,. semi-circnlar 'w res having their ends fitted emons CLARA'BIRCHARD LAMBERT.
